The not-so-very-secret-at-all-bloggers-who-wear-yo-yo's- society.

Okay so maybe thats not a very catchy title, but Miss Julie had a great idea.

Julie is coming to the Daylesford Makers Market tomorrow and meeting up with some friends, so much like a blind date where people promise to wear a certain flower in their buttonhole, Julie will be wearing a pink yo-yo !

I think this is a great idea !

Just think of all the blogmeets, craft shows etc that we all go to and blog about, only to have people comment and say "oh no I was there at that time too, I wish we could have caught up".

So here is the plan , if you are coming to the Daylesford Makers Market tomorow why not wear a yo-yo and let people know you are a blogger. Of course if you want a more anonymous feel to the day thats cool too. Actually I will have a free selvedge key-ring for all the yo-yo wearing bloggers who come and say Hi ! (until I run out)

I am excited by this idea Miss Julie, why not adopt it as the Universal Crafty Blogger version of the secret handshake.... Go forth and yo-yo !

( and if anyone can think of a better name that the-not-so-very-secret-at-all-bloggers-who-wear-yo-yo's-society pop over and let Julie know)

By the way, sorry to say I am a late scratching for a Daylesford trip tomorrow. Sprained ankles and crazy corporate life have declared me incapacitated. Will look forward to seeing you somewhere else around the traps.

I will hopefully be there and it's a great idea, but not sure about the yo-yo - never made one ... hmmm ... some investiginating in order!! Otherwise, I'll be the one with the mangled bit of fabric stuck to her shirt!

I love this idea too, the new pink carnations! For us non puff makers I think that Julie might be also bringing some extras. Or did I imagine that Julie? Hope I get in quick to pick up one of your keyrings Jodie! Should be a great day, can't wait to see everyone xo

What a fab idea! When I went to my first bloggy meet up in London a couple of years ago Gina (Fan My Flame) made us all fantastic rag-rug-style pink carnations - we were certainly a talking point as we went round the show!

Hi Jodie I have just found your blog and I love it. Good luck at the markets hope everything sells out, and i hope you met lots of other yo-yo wearing bloggers, wish I knew were Daylesford as it sounds like fun.

Hope it all went well...were the good folk of Daylesford amused, or alarmed, by pink yo-yos clustering furtively under eaves and in corners of cafes? Did any fake fifth-column noncraft political bloggers try to infiltrate by sporting purachsed yoyos? And why do we call them yo-yos, I thought they were Suffolk Puffs...?

of course - I wish I had read this before I went! oh it is so so good to have a computer back to keep in touch with the important things in life. And I should have bought more robots! I forgot to get one for me.....ooops
